Wisdom

Wisdom is separate to intelligence. It is possible, and sometimes likely, that a person will become intelligent but not wise. Likewise, it is possible for someone with a low IQ to possess wisdom.

An intelligent individual who lacks wisdom can be more dangerous than anything else on this planet. At best they cause minor grief. At their worst they can cause horrific wars.

This section of the website will explore wisdom and how to cultivate it within your self, so that you use your intelligence in the wisest way possible.
